The Great Climate Fight airs tonight at 9:15pm on Channel 4, with the second episode on Wednesday. Despite the fight with those in power and their ‘Don't give a shit’ attitude to the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced, this small but important series is about hope. The Climate Change Committee has given us all the guidelines and detailed rigorous insights to achieve net zero. But there's a blockage. And it's Rishi Sunak and his government. But here’s the thing: not only do we have all the answers we need. There are many of us and many businesses that are taking it upon themselves to make positive, meaningful change – becoming powerful forces for good in society and for our planet. And of course there are many of us in our daily lives making considered and conscious choices that have great impact. So let's join together. Watch, learn and get involved. Let's respond curiously, kindly and bravely. Let’s harness our wisdom, creativity and innovation and let’s make this happen. For us. For our children. And for this beautiful planet we call home. This is what is within our reach. And we can and must make the moral imaginative leap to make it happen. #ClimateFight #ChangeClimate
We could stop climate change – and the solutions to it could benefit us all. Tune in tonight at 9.15pm to watch The Great Climate Fight on Channel 4. #ClimateFight #ChangeClimate

surely there should be some sort of scheme here that gives support to the small businesses as the big cream profits and put our locals at risk of closure. come on you fat cats. do something sensible and decent for society
Shame on @BritishGas and other energy firms, refusing to budge as small firms struggle - @ofgem, @fsb_policy, @biztradegovuk ...as power charges could see 100,000 firms go under newspaper.mailplus.co.uk/dat…

My brilliant co-presenter on Big Climate Fight is highlighting the barriers to cleaner, greener wind energy.
The people of Welwyn Hatfield, constituency of so-called Net Zero minister @grantshapps, are waking up to these posters, which I pasted up in the small hours of the morning. If you agree with the message, please spread as widely as possible! #climatefight #onshorewind

Been banging on about this for a decade, finally, thankfully, Channel 4 and the amazing @maryportas are doing something about the obscene 'tax breaks' (subsidies) we give the fossil fuel industry. And yes, the big red bus is electric
Hey @Jeremy_Hunt We give oil and gas companies £42 million each week in tax breaks! Why not #savetheplanet instead? #climatefight

I tried the Treasury but @jeremy_hunt wasn't available to chat. The work doesn’t stop here though. So much energy and passion on this. Let’s keep the conversation going. And call for a rethink on these enormous tax breaks. Business and government have to do better in future. And play their part in a cleaner, greener future for us all. #climatefight #savetheplanet

I’ve emailed @jeremy_hunt I’ve asked for a meeting. But so far, nothing. So I’ve had to get on the - electric - bus. Hopefully he’ll notice me + 40ft of slogan. (Remind you of anything?) #climatefight #savetheplanet

Wonderful work from @maryportas With over £10 billion a year spent on fossil fuels by the government, we must end tax breaks for oil and gas companies if we’re serious about saving the planet. Right now we’re paying them to poison us. Act now @Jeremy_Hunt! #ClimateCrisis #ClimateFight

Today in the last episode in this series of Beautiful Misfits, I’m talking to the wonderful @thomasinamiers. Tommi co-founded @wahaca - the chain that had sustainability baked in from the beginning. She’s tireless, inspiring - I loved talking to her. 🎧 podfollow.com/maryportas/vie…

Most of us, at some point or another in our careers, feel like we have to follow the path that’s laid out before us. But what if we lean into our intuition and do something completely new? This week I talk about just that with @Tom_Herbert_ bit.ly/3BiNm7N 🎧
